LIBERTY -- Two township women are facing charges in the stabbing of two men.
Tharina Green, 44, of Mansell Drive, and Mykesha Edmonds, 21, of Logangate Road, each pleaded innocent to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge Monday in Girard Municipal Court. Green is free on a personal recognizance bond, and Edmonds, held in the Trumbull County Jail because she did not post 25,000 bond, is due back in municipal court Feb. 28.
According to police reports, 911 dispatchers received a call Saturday from a man at Green's residence saying that his wife was trying to kill him. Reports say officers arrived at the home and found Green on the front porch and her husband in the basement with a stab wound to his neck. Reports say the knife had just missed a main artery in the man's neck.
Reports said Green told officers that she and her husband had been sitting at the table eating when an argument broke out. She told officers her husband struck her twice and she swung the knife with which she had been eating, striking him in the neck.
Other case
Police were called to Edmonds' Logangate Road apartment Sunday.
According to police reports, 911 dispatchers received a call from the Logangate apartment just before 7 p.m. Sunday when a man could be heard yelling in the background before the phone line went dead. Officers went to the apartment and found several items thrown about and a telephone cord ripped from the wall.
According to reports, police received a call from Northside Medical Center a short time later concerning a man who had been stabbed in the leg. Officers interviewed the man, who told police that Edmonds, his live-in girlfriend, threw a wine glass and a knife at him and the knife stuck in his leg.
According to reports, Edmonds told police she and her boyfriend were arguing when he grabbed her about the neck and then picked up a large sum of money. Reports say she told officers she feared her boyfriend would leave with the money, so she threw the glass and knife at him.
